(ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, or

(iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock,

then (A) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable into immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted to equal the number of shares of Common Stock which a record holder of the same number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable into immediately prior to the occurrence of such event would own or be entitled to receive after the happening of such event, and (B) the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to equal (x) the current Exercise Price immediately prior to the adjustment multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable into immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (y) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable into immediately after such adjustment.

(b) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Exercise Price, the Company, at its expense, shall promptly, and in any event within two (2) business days, compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to the Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, upon the written request at any time of the Holder, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Exercise Price at the time in effect for this Warrant and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, or other property which at the time would be received upon the exercise of this Warrant.

(c) Notices of Record Date. In the event of any fixing by the Company of a record date for the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend) or other distribution, any shares of Common Stock or other securities, or any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire, or any option for the purchase of, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, the Company shall mail to the Holder at least thirty (30) days prior to the date specified therein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or rights, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right.

(d) Merger, Consolidation, etc. In case of any capital reorganization or any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company or in case of the consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation (or in the case of any sale, transfer, or other disposition to another corporation of all or substantially all the property, assets, business, and goodwill of the Company), the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to purchase the kind and amount of shares of capital stock which this Warrant entitled the Holder to purchase immediately prior to such capital reorganization, reclassification of capital stock, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, or other disposition; and in any such case appropriate adjustments shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 6 with respect to rights and interests thereafter of the Holder of this Warrant to the end that the provisions of this Section 6 shall thereafter be applicable, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property thereafter purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant.

(e) Fractional Shares. No certificate for fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but in lieu thereof the Company shall purchase any such fractional shares calculated to the nearest cent or round up the fraction to the next whole share.

(f) Rights of the Holder. The Holder of this Warrant shall not be entitled to any rights of a shareholder of the Company in respect of any Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise hereof until such Warrant Shares have been paid for in full and issued to it. As soon as practicable after such exercise, the Company shall deliver a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise, to the person or persons entitled to receive the same. The Company will not close its shareholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.

7. NO IMPAIRMENT.

The Company shall not by any action including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (a) not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the amount payable therefore upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (b) take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non assessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (c) use its best efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant. Upon the request of Holder, the Company will at any time during the period this Warrant is outstanding acknowledge in writing, in form satisfactory to Holder, the continuing validity of this Warrant and the obligations of the Company hereunder.

8. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

No provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by Holder to purchase shares of Common Stock, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of Holder hereof, shall give rise to any liability of Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

The Holder shall pay any and all underwriters’ discounts, brokerage fees, and transfer taxes incident to the sale or exercise of this Warrant or the sale of the underlying shares issuable hereunder, and shall pay the fees and expenses of any special attorneys or accountants retained by it.

(c) Certain Covenants. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant will be fully paid and non-assessable by the Company and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof. If any shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise hereof require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares of Common Stock may be validly issued upon exercise, the Company will, to the extent then permitted by the rules and interpretations of the applicable government authority, use its best efforts to secure such registration or approval, as the case may be. The Company further covenants that if at any time the Common Stock shall be listed on any national securities exchange or automated quotation system, the Company will list and keep listed, so long as the Common Stock shall be so listed on such exchange or automated quotation system, any Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.
